About Pond C
The primary purpose of Pond C is tailings. Tailings dams contain waste material from mining operations — typically a slurry of finely ground rock left over after valuable minerals have been extracted. These structures require ongoing monitoring because tailings can contain heavy metals and other contaminants. The dam is owned by Pennsy Supply (private). It impounds the No Name.
The dam stands 10 feet tall and stretches 650 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 1 acres, and has a maximum storage capacity of 67 acre-feet.
